You all probably notice now that I'm not writing a whole lot each chapter, but I am planning to have more time to type, so I will have more chapters and longer ones. Plus, my typo has finally been changed, so no more complaints about it.

Chapter 3

Meanwhile, in the junkyard, Demeter noticed something didn't feel right, like something, or someone was missing. She glanced around the junkyard as everyone else was still going about their business. She considered inquiring her older sister, Bombalurina about it, but she suddenly realized. She wasn't anywhere in sight. That's what was bothering her. She apparently had wandered off to do some thinking, which she usually did when she was bothered about something. Could it have been because of Macavity's unexpected appearance last night?

She hoped it was not, but that thought was due to her own fear of the Hidden Paw. She remembered vaguely how much the pair was in love. That is, until that dastardly ginger cat turned to a life of crime. She shuddered as she remembered how she herself recommended his exile from the tribe, partially, as she recalled with guilt, because she was jealous that she herself didn't have a mate or a lover, and she wanted to see her always-joyful sister be at least a little disappointed. When he was banished, she remembered him giving her one last long glare before he turned away. It caused her to freeze with fear, it was so evil. It said to her, "You will pay for what you have done to me. Just you wait."

It had stuck with her, and never seemed to leave her. She knew her sister's old love was after her, and that was why many times there was a crashing sound or a sound of sirens; she thought it was him nearby. So many times she did that at the Ball last night. It was startling to say the least, and it had many of the other cats afraid as well. Her fears did come true, as he did make an appearance, kidnapped Old Deuteronomy, and after Demeter and Bombi told the kittens about whom Macavity was, he reappeared again and tried to take Demeter away.

She remembered how her heart stood still, and for the darkest moment, she thought her life was going to end as he tried to drag her away. Thank the Heaviside for her crush, Munkustrap. He not only managed to save Demeter, but also stood up to the evil criminal cat, fighting him, though he was nearly killed himself. That was one thing she loved about that silver tabby that was going to take over command of the Jellicles after Deuteronomy was gone, his loyalty to all of his fellow cats. She knew he noticed her too and they were getting closer to being a couple, but there was that haughty Siamese, Cassandra, who constantly flirted and flaunted herself to the tom. It did cause a bit of jealousy in Demeter, but she was confident Munku would make his choice.

Concentrating her thoughts back on her sister, the gold and black queen went over to Coricopat and Tantomille, to ask them if they noticed Bombi.

"Hey, have you two seen Bombalurina around by any chance?"

The couple looked at each other for the longest time, as if they were communicating telepathically, and then looked back at Demeter. Corico spoke first.

"I can't say we have, Demeter. We haven't…"

Tantomille finished the sentence. They always did that whenever they spoke, "Seen your sister anywhere. Do you think…?"

"She may have wandered off?" Corico asked with a grin.

Demeter shook her head, "Don't you two know how much we all hate it when you do that?"

"Do…"

"What?" The pair smiled ever more widely.

"Finishing each other's sentences." Changing the subject, the young queen requested, "Could you at least look around for me? Maybe have Mistoffelees look too? I promised the kittens I'd take them to the wharf."

The pair looked at each other again for a moment and they both answered, "Yes," and walked away, leaving Demeter alone to her thoughts. Those two always freaked her out, since they were so magical and mysterious. Slowly walking over to where the kittens were resting and napping, she hoped with all her heart her sister wasn't in any kind of trouble.

In Bombalurina's opinion, there was no trouble whatsoever. She and Macavity had walked over to where one of his many lairs was. This one was close to Victoria Grove, so it was easy for him to get in contact with one of his "agents," Mungojerrie. It was pretty well-furnished, considering the messy reputation that Macavity usually had. There was a sofa and a bed and some simple cupboards and counters, and a pair of lights, each on one end of the big room. As soon as they entered, the couple resumed their passionate kissing. Bombi noticed there was no sign of his henchmen, who had been ordered the night before, in a fit of Macavity's rage, to get lost for awhile, until he simmered down. That satisfied the two wonderfully as they got to the bed. Mackey gently lowered her down onto it, and went above her.

The two looked into each other's eyes deeply. He could see Bombalurina's tough shell disappear, and was replaced by the wonderful, loving queen that he had adored for years. Likewise, she could see his anger and hate vanish instantly, taken over by happiness. Macavity looked at her with caution.

"If you object to this in any way, I won't go any farther without your permission."

On that impulse, the red queen gently separated her lower limbs, ready to receive him, and gave a nod to continue. It was going to be a night of loving, that much she knew. Love for old time's sake. He slowly got closer, his gentle, warm breath tingling her chest as his face and lips got closer to hers and the passion of the kisses returned. She suddenly let out a gasp as the two were joined together in the act of soul mates. He stopped and looked at her with concern, but she gave him an intense stare and pulled him against her again. Her lust was now burning like a raging inferno, and there was no way to contain it, until she was satisfied. The loving was more intense than she ever remembered with him, but after so many years of not quenching that thirst, she was desperate to experience it once again.

The climaxes were more powerful than she ever thought they would be, and she meows and growls combined with his as they echoed through the room. They finally finished and she lay back on the bed thoroughly exhausted, but happier than she had ever felt in years. Mackey collapsed on top of her and after a few minutes of heavy panting, put his arms around her, gently pulling the two together again.

After what had transpired in the past 20 minutes, they were both satisfied with holding each other. They were at a lost for words, but they didn't need any. The old flame of their love had gained strength once again, and this time, in her opinion, it wasn't going to go out. The lovers fell asleep holding each other tightly, as if they ever separated, they would be sad forever.

Okay, so I was a little too descriptive of Macavity and Bombalurina "doing the deed," but considering the way media is now, this is pretty tame in my opinion. If you all think this should be rated M, let me know and I will at least consider it. I don't think it will matter, as this is going to be the only "big love scene" I'm going to do in the story. The rest of the story will concentrate on Bombi trying to keep her secret, and if it gets exposed, struggling to make a choice of staying with the Jellicles or him. Chapter 4, coming soon!
